Postmondernism (Sean)

The term "postmodernism" is a term that is used when one is speaking about art that has come after the modernist movement. Installation art, multimedia, and conceptual art are all thought of as being postmodern art. Contemporary art is used to describe art since the 1950's, but not all postmodern art is contemporary; even some artists who still work in the modern or late-modern styles are considered to be postmodernists now. The term in and of itself is difficult to pin-down with definition. It can be said, however, that postmodern art is art that has arisen out of and/or rejects ideas in modernism.
